From: Vasco Almeida Date: Tue, 07 Jun 2016 11:52:04 GMT Subject: [PATCH v4 05/38] i18n: sequencer: mark entire sentences for translation Message-ID: <1465300357-7557-6-git-send-email-vascomalmeida@sapo.pt> In-Reply-To: <1465300357-7557-1-git-send-email-vascomalmeida@sapo.pt> Mark entire sentences of error message rather than assembling one using placeholders (e.g. "Cannot %s during a %s"). That would facilitate translation work because it is easier to translate a entire sentence than translating pieces. We would have better translations at the expense of source code verbosity. Moreover, translators can now 1) translate the terms "revert" and "cherry-pick" if they please 2) have more leeway to adapt their translations.
